Song lyrics
I once had a girl
Or should I say she once had me
She showed me her room
Isn't it good Norwegian wood?

She asked me to stay
And she told me to sit anywhere
So I looked around
And I noticed there wasn't a chair

I sat on a rug biding my time
drinking her wine
We talked until two and then she said
it's time for bed

She told me she worked
in the morning and started to laugh
I told her I didn't
and crawled off to sleep in the bath

And when I awoke I was alone
This bird had flown
So I lit a fire
Isn't it good Norwegian wood?

yea, the song is about John meeting Yoko, and having an affair with her while he was married to his first wife Cynthia

Beautiful guitar rhythm. You know, I read somewhere this song was about an affair John Lennon was having during his first marriage to whoever that was.

Yeah, this song rocks! (In a kinda sad, interesting, twisted way)
It's certainly different. It only has it's line of words, no chorus, no repetions, just a simple, narrative song. I like it.

Norwegian Wood is an amazing song! I absolutely love the beat, my jazz band is playing an all instrumental version by the Buddy Rich Big Band, but the Beatles are a true classic, as is the song!
